Abstract
Thyroid surgery is associated with a risk of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLN), the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve(EBSLN), and voice changes. Intraoperative neuromonitoring(IONM) has already gained universal reliability to help in nerve identification, safe nerve dissection, and prediction of postoperative vocal cord function. IONM techniques have evolved over the past decade into intermittent IONM(I-IONM) and continuous IONM(C-IONM) modes of application. Research in the field of IONM continues, exploring new techniques and approaches to further enhance the safety and efficacy of thyroid surgery. In this article, the role of IONM and its recent studies will be reviewed.
